David, This is truly incredible. How long have you been tracking this research? I can honestly say that I have never read, in any of my research, about the use of Adult stem cells. Thank you very much for being so involved and bringing this information to my attention. Also, one of my sons has Aspergers Syndrome (Autism Spectrum), I see it is being used to treat Autism as well. Very interesting!
